A spicy curry made with potato, masala urad dal wadi cooked in an onion and tomato-based gravy. It is a famous Punjabi dish, a little spicy and delicious in taste.
Firstly, break down urad dal wadi into smaller pieces and keep it aside.
Wash, peel and chop potatoes in long slices. Keep them aside.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Make a paste of ginger, garlic and green chilli. Make a puree of tomatoes and keep them aside.
Now, in a pressure cooker, add oil, cumin seeds wait for them to crackle.
Then add chopped onion and sauté it for 1-2 minutes. Add ginger garlic and green chilli paste. Saute them till their raw smell gone.
Now add tomato puree. Cover it and cook it till starts leaving oil.
After that, add salt, turmeric powder and dal wadi. Sauté them for 1-2 minutes.
Finally, add potatoes and water. Mix and cover the lid and pressure cook it up to three whistles.
Once the pressure is released open the lid and check the consistency. If it is thick add little hot water and cook it till one boil comes. Switch off the flame.
Transfer to a serving bowl garnish with green coriander leaves and serve warm with chapati or rice. Enjoy!
Notes
1. I kept the urad dal wadi chunks a little big but if you want you can make them smaller.2. I recommend using mustard oil for tadka it gives a unique flavour to the dish.
